The whispering shannon Lyrics

1

I left my homeIn shanagoldenNear the quaintLimerickTown of adareThough i left old shanagoldenMy thoughts willAlwaysLinger there

2

By the shannon watersI would wanderWith someone whoWill never leave my heartNow in my lonelynessI wonderJust why we everHad to part

Chorus

Whispering shannon please tell meAs you on your way to the seaHas she found someone newOr is she piningIs she lonesomeJust like me

3

They say the first love lasts for everAnd from your thoughts will never strayIndeed again you will endevourThere miles betweeth in what they say

Chorus

Whispering shannon please tell meAs you on your way to the seaHas she found someone new

Or is she piningIs she lonesome just like me

4They say the first love last’s for everAnd from your thoughts will never strayIndeed again you will endevourThere miles betweeth me what they say

End
